This is a 1519 Latin medical compendium printed in Lyon by Jacob Myt for the bookseller Constantin Fradin, gathering the Articella, a standard medieval university medicine text with later treatises by Theodorus Gaza, Avicenna and Arnaldus de Villanova. The pictures are small woodcut historiated initials, each a letter set in a square frame filled with dotted ground, foliage and flowers, giving a designer a compact vocabulary of capital letters for decorative drop caps and borders.
